all suggestions welcomed.
me an Email. We are not a drop in the bucket if
approach Honda as a group.
Honda issued a recall for faulty CRV ignition
switches even though only .3% of the cars exhibited
the symptoms covered by the recall. That's only 3
cars per 1,000.
There are a lot of customers who are being
penalized for adhering to the valve
adjust schedule printed in the Owner's Manual.
Honda banks on the assumption that your valves
will crap out once they are beyond the 36k/36M
warranty. Moreover, they assume that we will
just go away.

FYI:
Yes, my CRV makes a whinning noise when in reverse.
Roof racks - Thule and Yakima now have fixes for the 2003 CRV both hold 150 lbs, where as Honda's only hold 75 lbs. However, Honda's should make less noise since they are thinner.
Thanks anyone??
Checked with two tire gauges cause all 4 tires were over 44 PSI with one at 47 PSI!!! Honda recommends 26 PSI. I lowered mine to around 28 PSI and the rear end noise is GONE!!
Called the dealer to let them know of this potential safety hazard. After researching various sites, the CRV is shipped with tires set at 40 PSI (like you stated) and the dealer is supposed to drop them to 26 PSI.
Not sure what would have happened to the CRV with the tire pressure so high!! You may have saved our lives as well.
Perhaps all New CRV owners should check their tire pressure.
THANKS SCNAME for your reply!
I had the same exact problems with the tire pressure when the car just came out of the dealership. I was wondering why the cr-v was having an extremely harsh ride. A couple days later, I checked the tire pressure at it was at 45 (!!!) psi. I was amazed that the dealership didn't even check it as I drove off.
Yet again, people should check their tire pressure. (Improved the ride to a comfortable level btw)
I have been a Honda owner for years. This is my 8th new one now. I am a qualified mechanic to do almost any repair that comes up, and have been around cars mechanically all my life.
Most cars with disk brakes make one clunk as you go from reverse to forward. This is the caliper settling in. Calipers are free floating and have to re-center themselves. My CRV does it almost every time I put the brakes on. It seems to be coming from the front only. The dealers service manager told me that they are fitting the calipers looser on the pins due to some early problems they had. What a crock as far as I am concerned. Has anyone else had this problem and dealt with someone who sincerely looked into the problem and not swept it under the rug?

Does this sound normal for a crv? I noticed some other posts about noise, but no one seemed to describe what I'm hearing. Does anyone have any idea what the cause could be?
an awkward location and its difficult to remove the filter without spilling oil. I do my own changes and rigged a makeshift apparatus to avoids spills. My recommendation when you get your oil changes is to tell the service writer beforehand to cover the brace and cv joint with rags. That should help. If they are aware that you know the problem I assure you they will be more careful to keep your business. Also there are replaceable oil plugs with spigots and add- ons that will make oil changes easier. I cannot remember the names, if your interested ask on this board or www.hondacrv.org
Has anyone else had any brake noise and what were the fixes? No one at Honda can tell me what to do so far. It is almost everytime I stop now and I have only got 1000 miles on it. I am sincerely frustrated by this noise. Anyone seen any tech bulletins on this one either? Help!
Thanks Dale
It's left to right about 2 inches crack on the windshield.
Is there known problem with the CRV windshield?
gary william, did you call Honda?
Did they replace it for you?
Anyone have successful experience to let dealer fix this problem? Thanks.
Greetings from sunny Miami.
Instead of "greetings from sunny miami" send me some of those great oranges.
Also, don't remember what RPM the vtech comes in, but that also causes more fuel usage
Also, I replaced those hateful Bridgestone Duellers (70 series) with Michelins (75's). Not only do they look much better, but they ride much better and quieter.
Thanks.

I experience this trembling problem on daily base.
It only happens when the speed is arond 65mph on
seeming likly certain pavements. The trembling is so obvious that you are almost afraid the steering wheel will fall off.
I am not going to risk my life any more and will call the dealer today. They once said it could be the tire pressure, but mine only has 28PSI.
tkehegemon, or anyone who has the similar steering problem, please keep us updated about your experience with the dealership.
most of the roads as far as i can tell are relatively new pavement. And the trembling problem also love to happen on the road has
slight downward slope. It never happens on an upward slope.
i never feel steering trembling when i step on the brake pedal.
Toe in wheels look like this / \
Toe out they look like this \ /
Maybe toe out would cause the problem? Not an expert in the field by any means but, it seems logical.
What could be the damage done to the car since i have drived under this condition for almost half
a year?
feeling bad now.
